xen xen-kernel doesn't start at all

Tieks tried to minicom two sessions: first on /dev/cuaU1 (that has a lockfile and an initfile) and second on /dev/cuaU3 (with pass 1, too) on the dell desktop as main target with zen is still on Monterey Beta 6 to Beta 7. I get the following:

on 'sudo minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/cuaU3 and this on the /dev/cuaU1:

but writing togehter isn't possible. will try on Xen-machine after this stupid iOS-update (30hours and so in recovery mode --- this is a lotta lost time!)

do I make something wrong? It happend that I fell over the serial cable diagonal thorugh the room but it just plugged out, no demages like falling PC from the table to the floor and is dead or so.

This looks like you have a connection to a Hayes compatible modem, either hardware or software emulated. It seems to answer 'OK' and 'NO CARRIER' to your AT-commands here. If that is correct, then you probably have a straight cable instead of a null modem cable. A DTE (computer/terminal) needs a straight cable to connect to a DCE (modem). You may want to try commands ATI0 to ATI9 (inquiry command) to identify what you're connected to.

You tested the right way. My pc has 4 serial ports. If port 3 is connected to port 4 with a null modem cable, text entered in minicom connected to port 3 will show up in minicom connected to port 4. Without null modem cable that won't work.

One more thing, you mention /dev/cuaU, with a capital U. I'm running FBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p4, my serial call-out devices in /dev are named cuau1 to cuau4. Which FBSD version are you using?

Similar experience here. I don't understand why they want you to secure these connectors by tightening the screws on them . It's downright dangerous!
 
ok, this thread is really protracted. Because this cable my business-realtionship with amazon ended after 23 years, the other one (0-modem) did never arrive. I'll get one online on Friday, takes till next week,

sorry for this,

P.S.: the tightening of the screw thx godness didn't fit into the adapter....
 
and: an adapter from the Haswell-line to the jack-out of my PINE64 mobile, as I want to bring FreeBSD on it (difficult as no image wants to boot, with jumpstart or just dd, no matter, isn't able to turn on at the moment!).

Makes sense and I'll send messages to the electronic shops in the German-speaking world firstly, if fails, going to the US for it.
 
ok, guys, got this zero-modem-cable now and booted with serial console. Here's the output:

sudo minicom -b 9600 -D /dev/cuaU0

just forget the sound-things, they are obsolet in search of a HDMI-output problem, but the rest is more interesting than a simple foto, or? I got to work a 0-modem-cable, lucky, lucky! I goes I will spy many system from now on...

but btt: this is the standard output when booting and not unsetting xen_kernel. I thought it would be a bit more verbose as I did the VERBOSE_KERNEL=2 on building it.

what does this mean now?
